Abstract: Abstract Even while the really exciting developments were taking place in telephony as well as radiotechnology, a bunch of very determined scientists and inventors were working feverishly to try to transmit pictures onto a screen. Many contraptions were tried but without much success. The origins of being able to transmit “pictures” perhaps may be found in the experiments in 1856 by Abbe Giovanna Caselli, an ordained Italian priest who also had a great interest in physics, electricity, and magnetism. Caselli was able to demonstrate the transmission of a single image over a wire using a machine he called the “pantelegraph.”
